FLIR ONE™ is a powerful thermal imaging component designed for the consumer and light-professional marketplace. This compact, easy-to-use unit is compatible with the iPhone5 and 5s and attaches to the phone like a protective case. Once mounted, the device displays a live thermal image on the phone’s screen, giving users the ability to “see” in an array of conditions, including complete darkness. Originally developed for military night vision, this technology can now be applied to a variety of civilian applications such as home energy auditing, home security, outdoor recreation, and much more.

FLIR ONE can display minute differences in temperature, making it ideal for use in displaying temperature differences around door and window openings, and for locating wall studs and ceiling joists. In addition, the device can detect intruders in total darkness or help users find ther way during a power outage. It can also be useful for helping birders and conservationists observe wildlife, day or night, with a low intrusion level. Campers can use it to navigate in the dark, detect when the day’s catch is fully cooked, or make sure a campfire is extinguished.

The device houses its own battery source that can power the device for two hours of continuous use, and it can boost iPhone5 and 5s battery life by up to 50 percent. Available in a choice of 3 colors, it's programmed to sell for under $350.
